My primary affiliation is with International Islamic University, Islamabad where I am working as a Lecturer in the Department of English, Women Campus. I have done my M.Phil in English Literature and presented papers at various national and international conferences. My MS thesis was a Marxist study of Uzma Aslam Khan’s selected works i.e. Trespassing and The Geometry of God from the perspective of Commodification and consumerist ideology.
Currently I am working on Environmental Literatures for my PhD programme.
